Why does a rain gauge have a wide opening that funnels into a narrow tube?
◦ Rain drops are too far apart to measure with a narrow opening.
◦ The narrow tube minimizes evaporation and magnifies the amount of rain captured by the wide opening.
◦ The wide opening allows evaporation so it is a more accurate representation of what actually happens on the surface.
◦ The narrow tube takes less space.
